Albert Turner, the negro who so
brutally rayIshed and then murdered
Jennie Boehmer, young white girl
at Louisville, KY, last April, was
hanged IN that city Friday morning,
July LIST He protested conversion,
and on Thursday he was baptized
into the Colored Baptist Church..
the ceremony taking place in the
jail yard. He confessed the
crime in writing, telling how
he had raped Miss Boehmer and
then murdered her with poker,
and declaring, he alone committed
the. double crime. On the scaffold
he repeated this confession and said
he was going right TO heaven
His neck was not broken by the
fall. and he was fstrangIed to death.
Prior to his execution he charged
visitors five cents head TO see him,
saying that the money was to go
towards buying him costly coffin.
Under the State laws of Kentucky
rape is punishable with death.4E.r.
This kind of doctrine is what is
fast making skeptics.. This is not the
Bob Ingersoll doctrine that the
preachers condemn. It is the relig-
ion that they teach. The idea that
a rapist and murderer of an inno-
cent young girl, could get religion,
be converted and go straight to
Heaven, is too absurd to be believ-
ed IF such things cnn be, then
there is no merit in trying to be
good. \

The latest speculative excitement
in Dakota is the purchase of lands
upon which there is an outcropping
of tin ore. Over one thousand min
ing claims have been located and re-
corded, and it is expected that de-
velopment will follow. There is no
remaining doubt of the presence OF
tin ores in the Black Hills in pay
ing quantities. But what is the use
of going away out to the Black
Hills, when We have. the tin ore

The land grant corporations, like
the bloody-shirt schemers, appear
to believe that the Democratic adj
ministration is running the country.
The President is returning to the
public, millions of acres of land
wrongfully and fraudulently held
by the railroads; and as regards
every other great public interest,
his administration is equally wise,
courageous and patriotic. The
American people appear to like the
running process, and they may be
presumed to know something.

It seems that the Administration

1t seems that the Administration
has been entertaining, not an angel
nnawares, but horse thief una
wares, in the person of a petted Re
publican official in the Treasury
Department named o. J. Harvey.
It appears that this man was origi-
nally chief of the division of horse
claims, but was subsequently, trans
ferred to another field of labor in
the comptroller's office. Col. Brown,
IA Democrat, was placed in the va
Gated position and soon his suspic-
ions were aroused by certain irreg-
ularities which came under his OBJ
servation, and an investigation
showed that Harvey had secured
favorable action on $50, 600 worth
of forged horse claims, and had al
ready obtained $4,000 in cash there
on. The man when confronted with
the charge and the evidence, con
fessed his guilt and was promptly
dismissed from the service and
handed over to the civil authorities
for trial This is the second case,
within very short time, in which
the books of the Republican officials
have come under the inspection of
friends of the Administration and
gross frauds discovered. tits hard
~ necessary to say that these in
vestigations should be extended to
every branch of the government in
which the management of the pub
lie funds is involved Statesman.

The Nerves of Taste.

The discovery that heat influences
one set of nerve-points in the skin
while sensations of cold are received
by another set, has been followed by
some interesting experiments, by two
Italian psychologists, which indicate
that the various tastes result from
the exciting Of quite distinct sets Of
nerve ibers in the tongue. The pro-
longed application of ice removed the
sensbility for all tastes-sweet, sour,
salt and bitter. Cocaine destroyed
temporarily, of course--sensibility for
bitter only. Other substances, such
as caffeine and morphia, reduced tho
power of discriminating between diff
ferent degrees of bitter. Dilute sui
phuric acid had peculiar effect, caus-
ing distilled water and even quinine
to taste sweet at the tip Of the tongue.
although the bitter of the quinine was
elsewhere tasted as usual.

A Harmless Antiseptic.

Researches in France by DR.. Schultz
have shown that citric acid possesses
powerful antiseptic properties, which
may give it an important place as a
food-preser@ing substance, since it is
believed to be free from the objection
of EMBELLISHMENTS urged against
other antiseptic acids. Meat frag-
ments placed in five per cent. solu-
ton of the acid were in a state of
perfect preservation at the end of Is
days Experimenting upon organized
germs, DR.. Schultz found that one
drop Of q solution of one part acid to
1000 Of water placed in liquid con-
tanning bacteria and other forms Of
microscopic life, instantly caused their
death.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP,

Wv oOSS1Is
1t is thought Secretaries Bayard and
Villas will accompany the President on his
western trip.
The Agricultural department at
Washington estimates the tobacco crop at
5 to 30 per cent. less than last year.
Washington prophets wisely sur
mise that Secretary Lamar or Judge
Jackson of Tennessee will have the Supreme
Court bench vacancy.
A statement prepared at the treasury
department shows that during the month of
July there was decrease of SC, 663, 74S in
the cash in the treasury and net increase
of 81, OH, 1873 in the circulation. Tho decrease
and increase was mainly in gold certificates.
The decrease in the national bank notes
amounted to s., 534 ,0s7.
The coinage of the minis during
July was s1,9sO,0OO, of which 1000 was
in standard silver dollars. The limited
coinage was due to the fact that the mint
at Philadelphia was closed during the
month for repairs. The deficiency in the
coinage of standard dollars will be made
good during the present month.
Tho comptroller of the currency has
called upon the national banks for report
of their condition at the closing of business,
Aug. l. The information to be obtained in
the report just called for is expected to be
particularly valuable as showing how the
banks are prepared to meet the approaching
demands for funds to move the crops.
A meeting of the cabinet was held
Wednesday evening at the Presidents cot
tage, Oak View, and was attended by all the
members except Bayard and Garland. The
former was out. of the city and the latter
was not in good health. The meeting was
preceded by dinner at which the President
presided. Secretary Lamar and Postmaster
General Villas remained at Oak View all
night as guests of the President Cabinet
meetings will not be held regularly during
the summer, though when found necessary
they will be held at Oak View.
It is probable the President will 90
directly to St. Louis, and from there to Kan
sas City, st. Paul, Minneapolis, Milwaukee,
Chicago, Nashville and Atlanta. The At
lanta dates being fixed, it will not be prac-
ticable to deviate much from this pro-
gramme The journey will be made by the
ordinary route of travel between the cities
named, and the disposition of the President
will he to see as much of the country and
people on his route as will be consistent with
limited time and positive engagements.
Washington special: The reports
from Illinois which described the accident to
Mrs. Gen. Logan as serious were not
exaggerated, as alleged. Mrs. Logan re-
turned to Washington, and, when examined
by Surgeon General Hamilton it was
deemed necessary that she should at once
submit to severe operation, which was
successfully performed, and from it good
Hamilton discovered that Mrs. Logan's
left shoulder was dislocated, the shoulder
blade fractured and the elbow of the left
arm also dislocated. The fractured
shoulder had begun to knit in the wrong
place. DR.. Hamilton, with the assistance
Of her son Manning Logan and her son-in-
law, Maj. Tucker. set the dis]ocated
member and applied cap to the fractured
shoulder blade.
